What is the difference between beauty and skin health

Essentially, it is the underlying logical difference between "looking outward for immediate beautification" and "looking inward for long-term stability."

I have been running a community skin management studio for almost 6 years, and I have seen too many people who confuse the two, and they have fallen into all kinds of pitfalls. Last month, a girl who worked in Internet planning came to my door and said that in order to catch up with Party A's offline proposal, she had to do two whitening and peelings three days in advance, and she also applied two functional masks every day. On the day of the proposal, her face was really bright and glowing, and her makeup was applied twice as fast as usual. As a result, the next day, she started to develop allergies in large areas, and even her eyelids were so swollen that she couldn't lift them. It took almost half a month to subside. She was particularly aggrieved at the beginning, saying that all the beauty programs she did promoted "skin care", but her face turned out to be bad. In fact, what she did were just typical beauty treatments, and she never considered that she had sensitive skin with a thin barrier, and her tolerance could not withstand such high-frequency stimulation.

In fact, the industry has been arguing about the boundary between the two for many years, and there is no absolute right or wrong. Many practitioners who make beauty content believe that the ultimate goal of beauty is to make the skin look good. As long as the desired effect can be achieved, a slight irritation is completely acceptable and can be repaired afterwards. Some familiar dermatologist friends insist that all beauty treatments that are independent of skin health are short-term illusions. Repeated tossing will destroy the basic stability of the skin, and the condition will only get worse over time.

When I explain to customers, I like to use the metaphor of roses grown on the balcony. Beauty is like taking flowers to a flower art show. You spray brightener on the petals, cut off the small gaps on the edges that are a little dry, and adjust them to the best-looking shape. In a short period of time, your appearance will be full, but this is all about the forehead. Additional modifications cannot change the condition of the flower itself; and healthy skin means that you water on time, control the lighting, use fertilizers, and strengthen the roots of the flowers. Even without these additional modifications, the flowers that bloom will be full of energy. Even if you occasionally need to participate in exhibitions for styling, they will not wilt as soon as you take them out.

To be honest, it doesn’t mean that beauty is completely off limits. After all, who hasn’t had a wedding, an important interview, or a class reunion to support the occasion? As long as the priorities are clear, there will be no big problems: take care of your health first in daily skin care, don't always think about applying acid and whitening essence every day, occasionally do a powerful beauty treatment when necessary, and do soothing and repairing for two or three days after the treatment, and there will generally be no major problems. I'm just afraid that you will regard the good condition achieved by short-term beauty care as the norm, and pile on functional products and high-stimulation programs on your face every day. No matter how good your foundation is, you won't be able to withstand such consumption.
